http://total411.info/ = site with more videos and info about the Katrina investigation The U.S. House's Select Committee on Hurricane Katrina had some very interesting sessions on Tuesday. Over two sessions and more than four hours, evacuees and community leaders from New Orleans testified in hearings designed to highlight racial issues raised by the storm. Amazingly, nearly half an hour of this time was spent discussing whether or not the levees and floodwalls surrounding New Orleans were sabotaged. Many witnesses before the committee said they heard the levees being bombed and had several interviews taped with other witnesses. Later witnesses raised the historical context of levees being sabotaged before. And most stunningly, Henry Alford, the President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce challenged the federal government to allow the National Association of Black Engineers to access the evidence to conduct an independent, privately-financed investigation.
